DELAWftREWORKS NEVER eOWIPLETED River Water Chain Only Tem porary in Character Built , to Add Gravity Flow MACHINERY IS WEARING OUT D. S. C. FOR SHIPYARD GUARD .. 't -''''-'J V -. The Delaware river chain of water works, upon which the major portion of the city is now dependent for n supply oil filtered uater, has never been com pitted. The $30,000,000 spent on it was with an understanding that much of the work, was of a temporary character, and would be supplemented later by duplications and a gravity flow from forty ttiles upstream. , Since the plants were put into service under Major Cassius E. Gillette, the rqulpment has been constantly at work. tome o: the large pumps running cihiiju- uously for tw'clve and fourteen years. The strain has become o great that the equipment must bo replaced. Millions of dollars will have to be expended on lines and service equipment, even though the gravity plan is never carried out. Plans for these improve ments include a portion of the general scheme that has been worked out by Chief Davis to insure a safe water sup ply and reserve. Dally Consumption 320,000,000 GaUons When the Delaware river was first decided upon as a source of supply for tho city a daily consumption of 300, 000,000 gallons was the maximum ex pected. Today consumption figures range sometimes above 320.000,000 gal lons. The output of the Delaware chain, when normal working conditions govern, Is about 200.000,000 gallons. Because of the, general demand for an increased supply majiy plans have been discussed as to the feasibility of increasing the Delaware supply to a point sufficient to care for the whole section it now covers. These included the construction of an nuxillary pump ing station in South Philadelphia and the construction of a large main to run down Second or Third street and to be used only below Callowhill or Market street. Estimates for these im provements were made up and the cost was placed nt approximately SS.000,000. About the time the South Philadel delphia project was being considered, in connection with an increased supply from tho Delaware river, it was deter mined that the capacity of the Delaware chain would not permit of another ex tra service pipe for this particular sec tion unless at a large cost additional facilities were made along the upper Delaware. "With this determination came a study of conditions on the Schuylkill with a view to increasing the supply from that stream and making it interlocking, so that in case of accident water could be diverted into the larger area from the Queen Jjane plant and een from the Belmont pumping station, which is the sole source of supply for West Phil adelphia. This led to the final abandonment of ,S. siKaKa t ' iXBiwwmms " "- jJ4tjjMpi.., . II. S. WON'T FINANCE EUROPE'SINDCTES Commercial Museum Says It Can Best Be Done by Private Interests MAY GUARANTEE DEBTS Michael J. llanliman, 5802 Pcmberton street, eiuploed as a guard at the Hog Island sliipjard, was decoiatcd with the Distinguished Sen Ice Cross for heroic action oierseas as a United States marine. The ceremony took place at Hog Island, with thirty-one members of the uniformed force there drawn up as a guard of honor. Less than a month ago Itardiman was awarded the Croix dc Guerre by the French Government The outstanding conclusion which may be drawn from discissions re specting the method of financing Eu rope's industrial reUxnl and of this coun.trv's foreign business is that the work is not to be fathered by the gov ernment, the Commercial Museum an nounces in a statement today "Conferences of bankers have clearlv developed the common opinion that it would be a mistake to have this work undertaken by any strictlj govern mental agency," sas the statement. "Moreen or. tieasury officials and the Federal Reserve Board hate taken a. firm position against any plan which is based on governmental initiative or nnv large gcnernnientiil participation. It is well that this sound position has been taken at the ter outset of serious dis cussion of the problem. Need Raw Materials "The ork of finding the raw nnte rials, equipment and credits for Europe and the rest of the world, and of dis tributing tin in where thej are mn-t needed, is essentially a business and financial problem to be handled along broad-minded lines by business men and financiers who are conversant with conditions abroad as well as in this country. The problem resolves itself into a question of securing the wide distribution nmong investors in this country of "debentures underwritten cither by the government or by the banking interests of this country to cover advances which these interests may in turn make against supplies sent to Europe and other parts of the world It must be admitted that, other consid erations being equal, these certificates of indebtedness fcould be floated more readil) if they were guaranteed by the government than tliej could be if the underwriting banks alone stood back of them. But it would seem that the ad vantage of that plan in this respect would be more than offset by its dis advantages in other directions. Emergency Condition "The condition of the present finan cial relationships of the principal coun tries of the world is essentially an emer gency condition. The period over which the European countries will require any great amount of assistance is far from certain. It may run more than three or even five years, a some have esti mated, or. as others v lew it. the crisis may be reached and passed within the next vear A great deal will depend upon the extent to which Europe can nnd will revive its Industries to the point of shipping more goods to this country in payment of what it receives. "In view of these uncertainties, it is open to question if governmental ma chinery could be speeded up sufficiently to accomplish the results desired within the time desired. Governmental ma- Inner; must of necessity work slowly On the other hand, private financial enterprise, freed from official Hmita tlons and with its fingers ever on the pulse of the changing Industrial and financial conditions abroad, is in a posi tion to net quicklv when and where aid is needed, and to withdraw just as quicklv once the need of help has passed " DIVES FROM TRAIN WINDOW 4 CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS mlnrleil of their Third-Term Convict's Bolt Lands Him In Prison Hospital Auburn, N.

Torresdale Has Single Sjstem The Torresdale plant has n single way sstem inaugurated with a view to later providing a new gravity supply and duplications. This single chain starts with the one intake from the Del-. aware liver, one engine room and one boiler room crowded bejoud the safet line with machinery, one pipe line from Torresdale tnjthe filters, only one con necting link between the two filters and the Lardner's Point pumping station and all pipe lines from Laidner's Point to the city connected in a single run way with connecting gate "chambeis, where an accident to one line would put the others out of commission. Experience, Chief Davis says, has demonstrated the possibility of accident with disastrous results to any one sec tion of the single chain upon which GO per cent of the cit.v 's daily supply of pure water is dependent. Duplications at these points will have to be made be fore, in the opinion of engineers, there will be any certainty of u safe supply at maximum pressure at all times. The first expendituie at Torresdale and Lardner's Point will be for replace ments of the wotu-out machinery for pumping and in the boiler looms. Estimates of cost us to these replace ments and extensions will be submitted to Councils as the basis of future loan nppropiiations to the Bureau of Water.
